Mesotherapy and "Fat Melting"

The biggest buzz word
that is used to describe mesotherapy in the cosmetic and weight loss industry
is “melting fat.”Is this really an
accurate statement?

In some ways yes
because it is a form of “injection lipolysis” meaning that it has shown success
when it comes to some non-surgical cosmetic application such as the removal of
cellulite (sometimes generally called disfiguring fat) in most places in the
body including the thighs, buttocks, hips arms, legs and face.

Mesotherapy procedures
can also be used to minimize the pads of fats that gather around the eyes and
under the chin and also to tighten loosen skin.This can also help tighten the skin and the underlying shape of the
face.

An often used
fat-removing compound is the PC (hosphatidylcholine) which, in essence, thins
out fat cells by making their membranes more permeable. Minute amounts of stimulants
that aid fat release are included with PC injections. Common for this purpose
are thyroid preparations, isoproterenaol and aminophylline.

Common Injected Substances for Cellulite

DMAE

Substances such
as hyaluronidase and collagenase are used to disintegrate the fibrous tissue
bands that form between the fat globules in cellulite.This is a like a net of tissue that makes the
skin look dimpled and lumpy as the fat clumps are caught in it.DMAE can also help smoothen out lax skin and
the injected trace elements can help the skin turn over and repair itself.

Melting fat is not all
that mesotherapy is used for, however that is what most of your clients equate
it with. They probably need to know that the procedure can also be used for
correcting vitiligo, hyperpigmentation, acne and alopecia.

One thing that your
patients might mistake mesotherapy for is liposuction. Although it is often
promoted as being a safe non-invasive replacement for liposuction, it does not
remove huge volumes of fat from the body.As a practitioner, it is important to be clear with your patient about
what mesotherapy can and cannot do for him or her.Although fat is released and skin is removed,
and the area may appear to have less volume, this is not quite the same as
having fat surgically removed or sucked away from beneath the dermis.
